Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7
Just need to listen when a family member hurts. Sometimes I’d rather ignore and check back in when the situation has simmered down since the problem is not about me directly. But I’m learning that being available to listen with an open heart, unoffended attitude, and I hear you attitude can be a gift to the other person. To be honest, this is asking a lot from me; I have 2 kiddos constantly talking and vying for my attention. My listening skills are stretched to the max.
Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Ephesians 4:2
